Therefore it's not necessary to contain 4 litres.
Also several people in this forum seem confused about breathers, oil catch tanks etc. The answer is quite obvious and contained in the excellent ACU rule book on page 174. I don't understand why there's so much confusion.
AFAIK from Lin's M600 it breathes into the air box and also into a little tank under the seat. These would constitute a catch tank and are basically the same as on my MiniTwin race bike.
Brakes : "If using twin disks brake lines must be separate below bottom fork clamp-construction and use regulations."
This is in contravention of the ACU regs in section 5.24
HTH.

The catch-tank situation is still confusing me thouugh!!!
You say that the oil breather is sorted out on a Monster (620?) by the catch tank under the seat, but what about the fuel breather? I have a pipe that exits from the back right of the tank and is fed down to just behind the engine - is this the fuel tank breather? Does this need to be fed into a catch tank? Or is this just an iverflow pipe for the fuel cap? Does the Monster use the fuel cap as a fuel breather too?
It may be obvious to some, but not to me - I must be fik !!!!
